Sam Raimi Looking For New Writer For Spider-Man 4

Spider-Man director Sam Raimi has revealed that is currently looking for a new writer to bring a fresh take to the franchise. Raimi has written the first three films in the superhero series, but has claimed he doesn’t want to write the fourth film because he thinks he should have somebody else’s perspective on how Spider-Man should develop.

Talking to MTV, Raimi said,

“Right now, a writer is being sought to write the next installment. We’re in the very early stages. I won’t be working on the story. It’ll be a brand new writer coming in with a brand new story - a fresh take on the Spider-Man series.

“We’re hearing different versions right now and really enjoying the different stories. Hopefully, we’ll hear one that sounds right for the fourth installment.

“Yes, that’s right. In this case, it’s more in the writer’s hands. I’m going to let the writer envision where Peter Parker would go to next.”

What do you think about Sam Raimi bringing someone else in? Does Spider-Man need a fresh perspective?
